Well i snapped my timing belt
so im gona go ahead and build up my head.
im gona go with skunk 2 valves/retainers/springs .. cams later.

anyway , what do u guys suggest for a head gasket?????

im running all motor

 

sorry to hear, At what mileage did it happen?

 

130,000 - the sad thing is i was gona replace the belt next weekend.

OEM

Is this a good timing belt kit to go with??
any suggestions on whats best for my car will be greatly appreciated!!

 

go with a oem timing belt, plus u have to change that autotensioner too

 

OEM headgasket, remove the center layer if you want a little more compression.

I would use an OEM timing belt for a mild head build, and anything around Crower II's or bigger I would use a PE Enterprises timing belt.

 

Greddy Timing belts works good too.

 

as far the head im gona get port/polish -- and skunk 2 valves .5 over oem size,
with skunk 2 titanium retainers , skunk 2 springs , may add cams later.

not really looking for more compression , just more intake and exhaust flow.
and reliabilaty.

 

no point in building the valvetrain if you arent going to be using it. Stock cams stop making power right at 7400 maybe a bit earlier. Do the whole head at once. Maybe even think about getting some type S pistons or something as you are more than half way there.

Also, there are tons of company's for valvetrain products as far as springs,retainers, and valves go. Check around and find a valvetrain that would suit the cams you will use. Shop around, dont settle for the frist thing you come across.

 

id love to go ahead and get the cams , just cant afford .... what are u asking for your skunk2 cams??

 

what advantage will the type s pistons give me?

 

i have the skunk cam GEARS for sale.


the type S pistons will give you higher compression which larger/more agressive cams just love.


Since you are going to have the head off already do as much as you can afford.

 

my bad , thought you had the cams ... i may just do that . ill have to do more home work on it i guess.

would i need to change the rods as well?

look elsewhere on the springs/retainers...

maybe get the greddy timing belt, its a bit beefier
